7:00 Wolverhampton Tips

Zoulu Chief makes his first appearance on the all-weather here, so we have to take it on trust that he will handle the surface as well as the grass. He's had a wind operation and been gelded during 2025, and certainly seemed to find improvement after the unkindest cut of all. His last three races have been solid performances in what seem better handicaps than this. He might just be better than the rest here.

Course and distance winner who was last seen at Southwell 11 days ago where finishing a creditable 4th/12 despite not being ideally placed keeping on extremely well inside the final furlong and just failing to get third place on the line currently operating on a mark of 79 which is well within his capabilities C Hills's inmate looks poised to strike here in a race where he looks to be the least exposed jockey Marco Ghiani takes the ride on this gelded son of Hello Youmzain & Maygold ( Dam's sire King's Best ) and can give Hoodie Hoo a promising ride here at Wolverhampton must enter calculations here and very much one to consider

Top Juggler has been running quite well in some good races over the last few weeks, today's race won't be much tougher. Excellent run in defeat last time out on the AW, possibly on the way into some better form again now. Looks on a fair rating, good jockey is booked today.

Papa Cocktail is a 6-year-old bay gelding by Churchill out of Anklet, trained by Michael Herrington, and will be ridden by Jason Hart. He runs off an official rating of 69 after a recent comfortable all-weather win at Wolverhampton over 6f 20y. That victory confirms he handles this track well and is coming into this in form. He has a proven turn of foot and knows how to finish strongly in this grade. If he breaks smartly and avoids trouble in running, Papa Cocktail looks a strong each-way contender who could be hard to keep out of the frame.

Zoulu Chief certainly has a chance but at the prices I prefer Jax Edge in the next stall. The trip looks ideal and if one digs the horse does have form on the all-weather. Certainly seems to be in good heart at the moment and Gina Mangan is a little underrated as a jockey I think.

Dusted off the cobwebs with a 2nd at Catterick a couple of weeks ago in a field of eleven. Has raced here ten times and only finished out of the top three just twice, having excuses for both. Gets the low draw here to add weight for another good run.

Four places on offer in this Handicap and it might prove to be a better race for Lady Of Andros. Two runner up finishes and a third in the last six races and I am tipping the filly can finish in the places tonight.
